CAVI Footnotes: {1} SO BEAZLEY IN BSA 29.
CAVI Comments: BEAZLEY WAS NOT CERTAIN OF THE ATTRIBUTION OF εγραφσεν TO KEALTES, BUT THE
DIFFERENCES IN PUNCTUATION SEEM TO ME TO SUGGEST THAT HE WAS RIGHT. THE (μ) IS
HERE CONSIDERED A FIVE-STROKE MU (MU 7) WRITTEN VERTICALLY; IT IS USUALLY
CONSIDERED PUNCTUATION. Φοκι(ονι)(?). KRETSCHMER CONSIDERS Φοκι A NON-ATTIC
DATIVE; THIS IS ACCEPTED BY THREATTE WHO SAYS IT IS FROM A NOUN Φο̃κις. LGPN II
LISTS THE NAME AS Φοκι(ς), BUT AN ARYBALLOS IS MORE A MASCULINE GIFT. THE NAME
APPEARS TO BE UNIQUE. A SIGNATURE PLUS A GIFT INSCRIPTION. - FOR THE SHAPE, SEE
HASPELS (1936), 3 N. 2.
